List of temperament Puppy tests
Test One: Place puppy on the ground. Walk away, calling him. If the puppy follows and tries to bite shoes and shoelaces, or hang on to trousers as the breeder walks, he belongs in category number 1. If a puppy follows joyfully, jumps up and doesn’t bite, he belongs in category number 2. If he follows, but a little uncertain with tail down, put him under number 3. If he refuses to come at all, he’s a number 4 puppy.
Test Two: Place puppy on the ground. Sit down on the floor a little way away. Call him, pleasantly, clapping your hands. If he comes and bites hands, he belongs in group number 1. If he comes and licks, wagging his tail, put him under number 2. If he comes uncertainly, he belongs in group number 3. If he refuses to come at all, he’s a number 4. puppy. (more…)
